Irene Mary Cichon, 94, left us Thursday Aug. 26th escorted by the Lord's kindest and most gentle angel to her heavenly home. Irene was born Sep. 8th, 1926 to the late Joseph and Helen Jagodzinski.  Irene was the second oldest of 6 children and grew up a great help with the farm chores until 19 years later when she married Alvin Cichon, who preceded her to heaven in June 1976.  They began their own family with daughter Carol (Dallas, Texas), son Steven (Rib Falls, Wi.) and son Ronald (deceased).  She was also grandmother to Robert and Shane Cichon and great grandmother to Braxton Cichon. Irene loved flowers, always having vast gardens; little children, and laughter.  She had an adventurous spirit with an infectious giggle and a twinkle in her eye. Irene had a strong faith in her Lord.  She was preceded in death by 3 sisters:  Martha Stencil, Dolores Krueger and Dorothy Artus, and her brother Andrew Jagodzinski.  Her sister Lee (Leona Braun) resides in New Mexico.  Services will be held at Holy Name of Jesus church, Wausau, Thursday, Sep. 2nd at 1:30 p.m.  Visitation 12:00-1:30, Burial to follow the Mass at Holy Family cemetery in Poniatowski.  The family would like to deeply thank the staff at Mountain Terrace for their kindness and compassion.  God bless you all.  John J.
